Nice Update. I'm from Germany, so i know much about the USK. In the past a lot of games doesnt get certified because its violence. The problem is, that there was some "Amokläufe" in the past 5 Years. The government think the reason for this are Video games, what is absolute stupid. So there was a lot of Talk about Videos games with much violence, for example Counterestrike or Gears of War. Now, everyone in Germany (who doesnt know anything about Games) think, that Gamers how playing this games are Killers. But the Government is split in two parts. Some think, these Games makes gamers to killers, other thinks its a hobby and a new way of life. But the older generation doesnt understand that often. That's the problem in Germany. Next year, there will be a new Law for this Video games.
Ok, some games like Gears of war has some violence .But i Don't know whats wrong with Crackdown, which is also not available in Germany,
Alright, so its a hard time for gamers in Germany. We hope Halo 3 will get certified for Germany, but it seems bad, because there is a lot of blood in the game. An other point is, when you take a mine in Halo 3 under a warthog , people in Germany think we will do this i´n Real life * LOL *.
Ok, i think you understand that now :)
A really hope Halo 3 will coming out in Germany. So do everything you can Bungie, please :)
